Angel Sings with Joy

At Royal Valley, we always try to make room for the younger ones to share their talents in church, thus preparing them for greater work. We like to make them feel comfortable in the ministry so that when they're older and better prepared to understand the special truths for our time, they can shine as bright lights reflecting the glory of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Recently, our talents seem to be getting younger and younger!

Here, nine-year-old Faith Joy Aguda sings with two-year-old neice, Lovely Angel.

Nahisulat Na Radio Program 7th Anniversary (Davao Leg)

This entire month of November we are celebrating the seventh year of our radio ministry. It's been seven years since we first aired Nahisulat Na (It is Written) in Davao City, and five years since we started the hookup program in Kidapawan City. The past seven years saw many changes for the program and with the changes, a lot of growing for the members of the Royal Valley Free SDA Church.

In the radio program, church members have learned to unite and support one another through the diversity of gifts that God has given to the church - some through gifts of knowledge, others through gift of speech, some through gifts of music, and others still through financial support.

May the good Lord continue to use this radio ministry for His closing work. :)

In our blue shirts that declared the first angel's message, we filled the radio station and offered songs of praise, thanksgiving, and encouragement.






On the 28th, we will be broadcasting live from DXCA in Kidapawan City. do come back for updates on our activity there. God bless you. :)

Hold Fast: the Royal Valley Free SDA Church Campmeeting 2010

The recently-concluded camp meeting was a definite success. Themed "Hold Fast," it highlighted the pillars of the Seventh-day Adventist Faith in a free and open discussion, the essentials and essentiality of prayer, the discovery and nurturing of spiritual gifts, and the proper presentation and representation of the truth. There was also an evaluation of individual spirituality and efficiency of the current ministries.

During the morning and evening devotionals, messages of encouragement and inspiration were shared by elders and workers, and the youth were very eager to share their gifts of song.

On Sabbath, Elder Leve Catubigan talked about the purging of secret sins from every individual so the church can receive the full blessing from the Lord.
